I've been tempted to buy one of these kits, but it's an AMT. For the origami straight edge era, it was one of the better designs. You did a fine job with it. The headlights would need to be "fixed". The tires look decent, are they specific brand? Is there an engine?

Thank you for the heads up! I recently got the 917 engine, and threw in a Ferrari 250 engine. Highly recommended. This triggers a memory, there was a Porsche run to Prescott years ago, I might have seen one of these. Would be a slide picture....

I only used Testors gloss black, with the minimum of thinner, and lowest of air pressure. I tried to do the worst orange peel ever. Since you wanted to match the paint color, seems like the best bet, and save your money for something else. Be sure to fill the corners of your bed before doing any painting!

Very nice job, museum quality minimum, contest winning guaranteed! Love the subject too. The headlights are something that could be done on 1/24 scale, will keep in mind.

I've seen that resin "kit". Look forward to seeing this come together!

I've ordered from BNA, so I get email updates. I see this line has a bunch of Porsche detail parts, many versions of wheels. Too bad many parts are "sold out", just need to get whatever when you see it, don't wait! https://www.bnamodelworld.com/scale-production?page=2&zenid=d15f17f6cba0ad472de01ff0bae2aa20

Seems like when I hinge anything, it takes a minimum of two tries to get it right. Look forward to seeing the end result!

I used to shred, Moab Utah is my favorite place ever. I've never had to deal with this, thanks for the insight. Visited a friend in LA, they had a broomstick by the door, for first time out every morning they would need to clear a path to the car. My dad was bit on the top of his foot by a Brown Recluse just before a trip, a couple days later we had to rush back to the hospital. Yea, I don't like spiders either.

Attended the Phoenix model swap meet today. I sold 3 models, bought 3 plus military parts. I *had to * get the '72 Chevy pickup, it was *only* $35 unmolested, so maybe I'll do a 4 door version someday. (my stash behind) I have been looking for a Ferrari 512S to go with the Porsche 917, again someday in my next life. My neighbor recently restored a Goat, was thinking of building a before version, which was found on the Navajo Reservation, yes, a diamond in the rough, he has a really nice real thing! Why are these hard to find nowadays?

Since I have this kit, will lurk and learn. Does the chalk suck up the paint, so it remains really dull?

That's freaking COOL! I've worked several rallies, one had a 911 participate. This just made me want to resume and finish the Paris Dakar 959 that I started.

When I get into the obsession mood, I sort of go overboard. This month I got two more kits from an estate, it was like the proverbial barn find. I previously posted the AMT Mercedes 300SL Autobahn on a new topic thread, just because it's too cool. The AMT 1/16 scale '55 Chevy convertible is something I have not seen before, and I have a few Fujimi 1/16 kits already, so why not; I see it has a turbo option! Got another Nazca M12, because the guy gave me a good deal. *Had to* get the Tamiya 911 Turbo, even though I have two Fujimi kits. The '72 Chevy pickup had been started with paint, seller stripped the body, so it was a decent deal (compared to eBay prices!), I will build it as a replica of my real '69. AMT '55 Chevy pickup, already have the '57 with photo-etch parts, but why not? Revell Integra is just for the engine, will stuff into the '74 Honda Civic RS (did already on my '87 Civic), no need to open that kit either. ...someday...

I have that kit, and p-e parts. Are those turned aluminum shocks and real springs? Really nice build, can see other details.

Top image, the skinny tires with lines like the tires that gang-bangers used to mark their territories, which got them banned, cracks me up. Lower image, the C-pillars remind me what Infiniti is doing now: https://www.infinitiusa.com/vehicles/crossovers/qx30.html

I know someone with a collection of models for sale, saw the list, this kit was one so I looked up on eBay and found it was "rare" and price was ridiculous. The dude also wanted a premium for the whole collection, would not sell one at a time.

parts to scratch-builders

Yep, I knew that! Funny how hidden headlights are universally hated when open. Think the '39 Cord was the first, and they looked okay when open. I have an Alfa Romeo BAT resin kit, you have the option and I'm wanting to make them operable. Again, nice job.

Long time ago used Chrome Tech. So I'm staying tuned here.
